Well the time has come to move on from my beloved Nokia N900, currently on Trademe.....

I am tossing up between the HTC Desire HD, and the Samsung Galaxy S I9000...As for HTC, I have always loved the beautifull looks and build of HTC phones, and HTC Sense is awesome....As for Samsung, I think the plastic build looks cheap, and TouchWiz looks rubbish, it just looks like an iOS rippoff and not even a good one....

I am mostly already sold on the HTC, but I see the Samsung Galaxy S has a strong support base here, and does have good specs......am I missing something?

I have both. I didnt like speaker on Desire HD and gps didnt want to lock on. Screen hard to see in sunlight. So I bought Galaxy S. Sound is good but I cant get used to bluish screen. Easier to see in sunlight. Both cameras are good. Playing video sound through headphones was much better on the HD. I upgraded HD manually to froyo 2.2.1 and gps locks on quick now, but speaker still low. It was very hard decision but I will be selling the GalaxyS. The main factor sound through speakers on HD and Camera flash on HD and mostly I had trouble reading text on the bluish screen on galaxy s. Mind you I have unusual eyesight.

The big issue with the Desire HD is the battery life in my opinion. Other than that it's a beautiful/fantastic phone. I use the SGS and I've gotta say I love it. The big reason though is that I'm running one hell of a ROM that makes it a super phone. It's highly customisable.

Try ultimate rom, It's great as well and you'll likely notice an improvement in your battery.
